I have installed a debian fluxbox on my sexy x121e.

Depressingly, i am facing a problem with wicd-gtk. After clicking connect on a wifi connection i just get no connection bad password error and then it says not connected. I do not have a network-manager. so i can't remove it as other threads suggested. Do not know how to work around this problem. Plz reply.

Is this some slightly unusual meaning of "sexy"?

Try using a wired connection until you are able to fix this problem.

i have seen similar problems, and iirc it had something to do with encryption: wpa2 is the standard for linux, but some routers or wifi-adapters don't support it (they use the dreaded wep instead).
so, try to set up an unencrypted connection - if that works, at least you know that the problem is indeed encryption related.

in a metaphorical way i can relate to that... heh.
although i have no clue what device op is talking about.
also, fluxbox never seems to hold what it promises, but maybe that's just my problem.

plz see the snap.

i have to solve the problem i have to!

That screen grab suggests you do not have the password for that particular wireless connection or service provider.

@Randius Draco Albus
Even so it isn't true. I have the password and i do provide it to wicd-gtk.

For my another laptop i do use my wifi. btw i have Ub 14.04 on my second laptop. However wicd-gtk refuses to connect giving me bad password (wpa preshared key) error and says not connected.

wifi control works fine with wicd-gtk coz i can turn it on or off. Also it shows my wifi essid as well.

plz help. how would i be able to connect it to my wifi?

@ondoho
plz see snap i attached before.
i have to have an encrypted one otherwise my neighbors will use my wifi as well.

How is it possible for you to bring up that wicd failed dialog box on top of an apparently successful web connection - including adverts?

Are you attempting to make multiple wifi connections from your PC?

i meant for troubleshooting only.

also i suggested some other things you have possibly overlooked.

but really jeremyboden's question seems to be the most important obe right now.
